canvass OF the city, but he thought the
rp-
considered that the weather prevented many
from attending the meeting. IL was diff
cult To estimate the total amount that would be
collected but he Thought there was no good reason

ports assuring, and expressed the hope that the
committee would renew its efforts. DIR. A. p.
